Method
1. Prepare the Chicken:
o Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. No need for long marination—just a quick mix, and we’re good to go.
o Coat the chicken in plain flour, shaking off excess. This helps create a beautiful golden crust when frying.

2. Fry the Chicken:
o Heat the oil in a dry frying pan over medium heat.
o Add the chicken pieces carefully—don’t touch them for the first 3 minutes to allow a golden crust to form.
o Once golden brown, remove the chicken. It will finish cooking in the sauce.

3. Build the Flavourful Sauce:
o Remove 80% of the oil, leaving behind the browned bits. Add butter and let it melt, scraping the pan to absorb all that flavour.
o Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until golden and soft (about 7 minutes).
o Stir in ginger and garlic paste, sautéing for a minute until fragrant.

4. Add the Spices & Tomatoes:
o Stir in oregano, rosemary, chili powder, mustard, and sun-dried tomatoes.
o Cook for a minute, ensuring the spices release their aroma without burning.
o Add tomato puree and cook for another minute to remove the raw tomato taste.

5. Deglaze & Simmer:
o Pour in chicken broth, increasing the heat slightly. Let it gently boil for 2 minutes—this deepens the sauce’s flavour.
o Stir in fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.

6. Make it Creamy & Rich:
o Pour in double cream, stirring continuously to blend into a luxurious, silky sauce.
o Add half of the grated cheese, letting it melt into the sauce.

7. Bring Back the Chicken:
o Add the golden-fried chicken pieces back into the pan, flipping them to coat in the sauce.
o Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld while the sauce thickens to perfection.

8. Final Touch & Serving:
o Garnish with freshly chopped basil. The fresh herbs elevate the flavours beautifully.

This looks absolutely delicious ! Can it be served with rice or pasta instead?

Mashallah looks amazing! The boys had their mouth open & drooling at the end 😂. I would make this for a dawat inshallah. Probably with naan or plain white rice 👌 what seasoning was in the plain flour?
